  • Publication number: 20120318669
    Abstract: Provided is a sputtering target-backing plate assembly where a raw material powder prepared so as to have the composition of a magnetic material sputtering target is filled in a die together with a backing plate and hot-pressed, thereby being bonded to the backing plate simultaneously with sintering of the magnetic material target powder. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sputtering target-backing plate assembly having a high average pass through flux and allowing more stable sputtering, by disposing the raw material powder for a target on the backing plate and sintering them.
